Asteroid 99942 Apophis on April 13th, 2029 will pass less than 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) from our planet’s surface [1], it is a potentially hazardous asteroid [2].
Although the propability of Apophis collision with Earth is low, the severity is high, therefore a plan to prevent the collition is required.
Governments and space institutions have their own agendas, that's why an open and collaborative organization is required to research and develop the technology required to:
- prevent Apophis from colliding with Earth.
To prevent this collision all management and engineering tools are going to be required (Project management, Design for six sigma, I.T. Architecture, etc).
This gives the opportunity to everyone that has knowledge in these areas to participate and collaborate to save the Earth.
This organization has the mission to deflect Apophis asteroid before 2029-04-13 and prevent a collision with Earth.
We welcome contributions from everyone who shares our goals and wants to contribute in a healthy and constructive manner within our community. Openness, collaboration and participation are core aspects of our work.
